Snowboard - Nitro Drop 142 The Nitro DROP is an All Mountain snowboard that works well everywhere, with a fun shape. This board is suitable for those who like carve on the piste but are happy to hunt for fresh powder as soon as the opportunity arises.
The DROP has a directional shape which gives you better characteristics as you move forward. Power Pods give you better grip on ice and hard packed snow. The Board Profile is the CAM-OUT Camber which makes it forgiving but at the same time really nice on the cutting edge.
The Drop is a snowboard that gives really nice carves with full response at high speeds. The board is waxed and tuned at the factory, ready for the mountain! Watch the video below where Nitro presents the Drop. Rider: All Mountain - The Nitro Drop is an all mountain snowboard equipped with Nitro Power Pods which provides better edge control on hardpacked or in icy conditions. The Drop is suitable for those who like to carve on the piste but are happy to ride powder or take a lap or two in the park when the opportunity arises.
Freeride: 9/10 All Mountain: 10/10 Freestyle: 6/10 Flex: All Terrain 6/10 Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain. The scale is built on the principle that 1 is "Soft and Playful" while 10 is "Hard and Responsive". Rider Level: Average-Advanced Shape: Directional: Longer nose and a reinforced tail to make it easier to initiate turns. Radial Sidecut: The simplest and most common of all sidecuts: One single radius makes this sidecut extremely versatile and predictable. Profile: Cam-Out Camber: Our Cam-Out Camber is basically a Trüe Camber with early and smooth transitions into tip and tail. The result is a fun and responsive board that turns on the spot and is forgiving, even after that 713.5° landing! Construction: Powercore: Our Powercore uses tip-to-tail poplar wood, providing lightweight strength and the perfect blend of flex, response and feel. Bi-Lite Laminates: Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board- feel. Sintered Speed Formula HD Base: Utilizing a new base material compound, we have been able to achieve higher abrasion resistance, increased wax absorption and higher on- snow speeds. Power Pods: Overlaying a tighter sidecut radius in the center of the board with a larger one towards tip and tail is creating our exclusive POWERPODS which have two amazing effects: On one hand, there is extended board width under the bindings, resulting in additional edge control, especially on hard and icy surfaces as well as simply less toe and heel drag for larger boots and flatter stance angles. On the other hand, our POWERPODS make the board super reactive and fast turning once it’s put on edge – while keeping it easy to control if ridden with less dynamics. Wax: All NITRO boards are factory-tuned with Kandahars 100% Natural Speed Wax, a fully Bio-degradable wax made of renewable resources.
